anyone know what the smallest tomtom compatible mobile phone is ?
I've looked at their list but surely there are more "normal" phones, i.e not PDA's ?
I've used TT on a Nokia N70, is there anything smaller than that ?

maybe I should have phrased that differently...
what is the smallest mobile that TomTom Navigator software will run on ?

Smallest phone is Nokia E65 which runs TTNav6 providing you have an external GPS receiver. _________________ Nokia E65 & TT Nav6 |

Was about to suggest the same.
My E65 runs tomtom very well. You also need an external GPS reciever. |

... or maybe the HTC 3300 (T-Mobile MDA Compact 3, or the O2 version) which have built-in GPS receivers so in total are even smaller?
PS They weren't shown on the TomTom approved lists, but I have one (so does Mike Alder) and they work fine with Navigator 6). |

That's odd because I though that the 6.0.3 build was specifically to adress issues with these devices. _________________ Paul

The HTC P3300 is pre-loaded with TomTom version 6 software as part of the ROM so why it isn't listed as a compatible device is very strange indeed, the derivative devices (O2 XDA-Orbit and T-Mobile MDA C-III use slightly different ROM versions and TT6 is not installed to the ROM so I can understand these not being on the list of supported devices).
6,020 was the first version to offer the "In Built GPS Receiver" option in the menu, I am not too sure what 6,030 offeres even though I am using it, the only noticable difference was the change to the TT boot screen - as it now shows a different image.
There are plenty of people using TT6 on the O2 and T-Mobile devices though so just because its not on the list doesn't mean it won't work - I can 100% recommend the Artemis as it is a cracking bit of kit, if you need WiFi steer clear of the T-Mobile version as they stripped out the WiFi, but to be honest I don't miss it I just use the Web-n-Walk GPRS for internet access when I need it - Mike |

The Nokia n73 is another small but decent 3G phone that runs v6 fine. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I used to own Imate jam paired with SysOnChip GPS Bluetooth reciever which I sold and bought the N560. It was almost perfect but the GPS reception was very slow.
I sold my N560 and bought the HTC P3300. It was preloaded with TT6.02 and was running fine. I have updated it now with 6.030. I dont see any difference with the two versions.
Its a lot better to use a device with integrated GPS as you only carry one device with you.
So in my own opinion, HTC P3300 (Artemis) is practically a small device. |

Works very well on my N80 - don't know how it compares to other phones - but it's pretty small. _________________ Phil |
